Fair value estimate
How the range is computed
Financials model (residual income). Same residual-income model as the base: cost of equity 9.5% ±1 point and return on equity 15.1% ±2 points. Bear = 10.5% and 13.1%; bull = 8.5% and 17.1%. A model estimate from public filings, not a forecast of where the price will go.
Price sits inside the range.
What the price implies To be worth today’s price, AIZ would need a return on equity of about 18% a year; our estimate uses 15%.
Risk vs market
How risk vs market is measured
One year of daily returns (Oct 30 to Oct 30, 252 sessions). Beta = how much AIZ moved for each 1% move in the S&P 500 (SPY); 1.0 moves with the market. Volatility is the yearly standard deviation of daily returns. Past behavior, not a forecast.
Has moved mostly independently of the market, but its own price swings are 1.7× the S&P 500’s (it moves on its own news).

Valuation details
DCF $235.11 · MV $280.11
Financials model (residual income): book value $135.79 a share on Jun 30, 2026, plus the earnings above a 9.5% cost of equity. ROE 15.1%, the average of 16.4% for the trailing 12 months to Jun 30, 2026 and 13.8% over fiscal 2021–2025, on average common equity; payout 44% of earnings (dividends 17% + net buybacks 27%), so book grows by the retained rest; the return above 9.5% fades halfway toward 9.5% over 10 years, then grows at 3% (terminal value). From the 10-Q filed Aug 6, 2026.
